Learning doesn't commence at the beginning of a school year, nor does it culminate at the year's conclusion. Learning is continual, and it's great to see the adaptations that teachers and students make during different seasons of the year to underscore the idea that all times are learning opportunities, and those times are precious.Enjoy the final couple of weeks of school, and recognize that learning brings great pleasure to our brains.

At Marion Cross School, we try to foster the attitude that teachers help teachers and parents help teachers and teachers help parents and we all help the children—and the children help us. We are all necessary in the promotion of learning for your children, and it is important that the children know that they are necessary to us and to the smooth functioning of our culture.

Learning

Sometimes learning is messy; solutions aren't often self-evident, and learning isn't linear. Students first attempts at a math problem may be insufficient to solve the problem. Sounding out a word may produce incorrect pronunciations. Creating a meaningful metaphor may be elusive. But students persevere, and when they solve the problem the joy is visible and palpable.
